Who knows which band I'm going to link? HINT: The same one I pimped the last three or four times we did this!
They are Pandora Celtica [http://pandoraceltica.com/home.cfm]. LOVE THEM!

For them what don't know, imagine that Merzbow and Maximum The Hormone had a hideously deformed baby that also suffered from multiple personality disorder.

Red Fang, although they're slowly crawling out of the dark corner of obscurity.

The World/Inferno Friendship Society is an amazing Punk/Cabaret/Klezmer/Whathaveyou from New York
Stuck Lucky is a great Ska/Punk band from Nashville, TN.
Bo Ningen is some awesome Japanese Drone/Sludge/Psych Rock.
The Mad Conductor is a cool rapper from New York.
aaaand...
Maddie Ruthless is a Rocksteady goddess from New Orleans.
Check out Maddie and Stuck Lucky at Community Records' website for free.
I listen to a lot of Swedish trallpunk. An obscure genre in itself, due to being... Swedish. Not many followers here either.
Favorite bands would be M.I.D., Strebers and Senap.
Usually link this song or "Hör Min Bön" on this site since they should be pretty catchy in spite of being another language to most.

OK, I'll concede that! To be honest, though, I much prefer her collaborations with Yoko Kanno, since she's naturally a country singer, though a fair few of her songs that she's done with Francesco Forni are quite dinky & catchy. From Bedlam to Lenane is a pretty good album, though no-one I know has heard of it... and some of the videos are rather amusing as well.excalipoor said:
A Shoreline Dream. Little-known shoegazing band that sometimes collaborates with Ulrich Schnauss. Their most-viewed video on Youtube only has 13,000 views.
P.S. You all need to put videos under spoilers, or else it makes the page sluggish.

This isn't obscure but I love Pink Floyd and everyone my age (22) barely know who they are?!?! So for my generation I guess they are obscure hehe.
Kaizers Orchestra. They're pretty big in Norway apparently, not so much anywhere else though. I genuinely haven't heard a song of theirs I don't like, and I can't say that about many bands. I also have four of their albums. Here's two of my favourite tracks (I have lots of favourites by them though =L).
Neo, a Hungarian electro-rock band best known for their soundtrack to the film "Kontroll." This movie was meh, but it had amazing music.
Yeah I've got Red Sparowes but haven't got round to listening to them yet.Esotera said:
OT: Not really sure.. Tbh most of my favourite bands are pretty obscure. I love love love godspeed you! black emperor and not many people seem to know about them. I've met about 2 or 3 people who (to my knowledge) do. Actually turned out that a guy I've known for 6 years likes them and I never knew. It's weird cos their music is so big in my life but I don't really get the opportunity share it much. Seeing them live in a couple of weeks though
I love Burial as well, but he got nominated for a mercury prize and he's an absolute legend in dubstep so I don't think you could call him obscure even if most people don't know who he is.
dude fucking ninja'd me but yeah that song is amazing and the album is my favourite one ever. Their new one is pretty good tooCaedus said:
Ok I have two. Both are a bit old timey but totaly awesome. Enjoy
First up we have Cornmeal. An excellent Blue Grass band that absolutely wails everytime they play. This is just a quick video and showing off some skills
Next up is a mores southern style band called The Carolina Chocolate Drops. They play all manner of instrument including banjo, washboard, kazoo (yep kazoo), the bones, the jug, and a few others I am sure I am missing.

One of my favorite artists is Joan as Police Woman (AKA Joan Wasser). She's got a beautiful voice, and an amazing sense of rhythm. Her albums have got plenty of positive reviews, but no one that I know has ever heard of her. She really deserves more attention!
